I've experienced malvertising when browsing Gelbooru on my Android, but never experienced this on PC, though it might be thanks to Adblock.. sorry Gelbooru :(
Below is a scan i did on sitecheck.sucuri.net

It just looks like McAfee blocked us because we aren't using a recognized firewall. Everyone else says we're clean. Advertising is handled by an outside company anyway. I guess I can draw loser's attention to this when he wakes up but there's probably not much we can do.
Can you give us a screenshot of the "malvertising" itself? If we can identify it we can block it. The more info, the better.

Not interested in recreating the scenario for obvious reasons, but I remember a lot. Upon visiting Gelbooru for the first time on my Android, a new tab automatically opened itself and redirected to allmobiletracking.info, where a fake antivirus pretended to install a free version of itself and "scan" system folders.. creepy.
This was likely a popup, but it was a popup that appeared every time I opened Chrome (not Gelbooru) from that point forward.

I looked it up. It's not us. This is an Android virus! Hackers piggyback this on text messages taking advantage of holes in the phone's security. If you received any TMs with advertising in it than this could have been how you got it. (Even if you didn't read it.)
The only advice I saw was to go to the Android main app store and get a reputable antivirus program for your phone.
(Edit: This is why I don't like smartphones. Nobody's going to hack my Radio Shack land line phone.)

Was this recent? (past 10 days?)

I am certain "it" came from visiting Gelbooru. I was surfing the site without an adblocker, because as far as I know, there has been no adblocker available for Android. And while I did not have an antivirus installed, I didn't think I needed one to browse Gelbooru. I don't typically browse internet on Android, but at the time I needed a good wank.. and that mess happened XD

No, this happened about 4-5 months ago.

Virus protection or at least something to stave off any malware is advised for all websites.
Even children's websites, Youtube, and Facebook, etc have all transferred some kind of malware to... possibly everyone that has ever been to them.
If not directly, then by adverts or other site weakness.
Some sites are more secure than others. Like Gov sites and bank sites. But they may still have adware and spyware in mind for you.
